Bit late now.

World Rugby have admitted that Gareth Anscombe’s “try” against England at Twickenham on Saturday evening should have been given by the Television Match Official (TMO).

TMO Glenn Newman ruled that winger Anthony Watson beat Anscombe to the ball in the crucial Six Nations clash. But World Rugby’s Alain Rolland confirmed an error was made.

Wales head coach Warren Gatland was among those who were furious with the decision, and it appears his anger was justified. England won the game 12-6 in the end, but who knows what the try could have done for Wales.
